skywatchers Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Yesterday while my girlfriend was at work I and she thought I was watching football I made a secret trip to the La Raza del Sol cache and hid an empty ring box and marriage proposal for her. Today we went to find the cache for what she thought was the "first" time and I am glad to announce she said yes. Our best cache yet. Once we get everything planned, I'm going to have to post the coordinates of the reception and see how many show up.s Quote Link to comment

A local cacher did a similar thing: He hid a cache with the ring, then made up a fake geocaching cache page and printed it. He then hunted it with his girlfriend Cheers Nick. Quote Link to comment

Eoghan Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 I also proposed to my fiancee with a stash - a letterbox rather than a geocache, but pretty similar. We're also going to put coordinates on our reception invitations. Since we're printing them all ourselves, that will be the ONLY directions that some people get. Again, congratulations!

Now I'm planning a honeymoon - an Alaskan cruise. We'll have to find a few caches while we're out there. Hmm, I wonder if anyone has put a cache on a cruse ship yet. Quote Link to comment

+Team Rand Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 That is quick work. I noticed that you just recently regestered to the site and here you have gone and figured out this neat idea. Congradulations and may you both have a great caching life together. Quote Link to comment
